Tillerson, North Korean envoy to cross paths, but won't meet

But more than five months into his tenure, Tillerson has not issued a simple request for the money earmarked for the State Department's Global Engagement Center, $60 million of which is now parked at the Pentagon. "He knows the area well, he knows Russian Federation well", Tillerson said.

Trump and Tillerson have been shown little interest in repudiating Russian Federation for the election cyberattacks that have been reported by multiple US intelligence agencies.

Still, Tillerson noted he has received Trump's confidence and said the president often calls at unusual times seeking input on various foreign policy matters.

Sources told Politico that Tillerson relies on aides instead of State Department's career staff and he also is looking to spend less money in the wake of President Donald Trump's plan to cut the department's budget.

Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov said it is important that the USA president is thinking about the current situation and prospects for bilateral relations, but his intention to sign the sanctions bill into law contradicts the building of ties.

He said this at a briefing in Washington on Tuesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

The bill which was approved overwhelmingly in both chambers, by a margin of 98-2 with strong support from Trump's fellow Republicans as well as Democrats, a feat that seemed impossible with the embattled health care legistlation bill.

The bill needs to be signed off by the president before going into effect.

Tillerson's comments sound at odds with those of Vice President Mike Pence, who said the president is "unified" with Congress.

One former senior department official told Politico part of the delay is due to the new and convoluted decision-making process by Tillerson, a former ExxonMobil CEO.

In a wide-ranging assessment of his first six months in office, Tillerson laments the sour state of relations with Russian Federation and points to Russia's move to kick out many USA diplomats serving in Russian Federation.

In another sign of US concern about the North, the Trump administration published a notice Wednesday in the Federal Register detailing a new ban on Americans traveling to North Korea.

"In terms of their response to that action, I think it's important to recognize that any leader of any country has their whole population watching them as well". "Does it make our lives more hard?"

The next substantive conversation about how to move forward will likely be over the weekend.

Tillerson will participate in meetings of diplomats of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Manila, and discuss "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, maritime security, and counterterrorism", the State Department said.
